Among other things, Anjulie shares her self-care advice, and a few books she found very useful during her search:


Prepare for this to be a lengthy process that requires energy, focus, and dedication. It will take time but you are in the driver’s seat!
You can’t keep at it 24-7 – it will drain you
Take breaks
Be kind to yourself
Surround yourself with people who love you and support you and know you are awesome
Listen to your gut – if your instincts tell you it’s not right, it’s not (the sniff test)
Be open minded – the right fit for you might be very different than you think!
Don’t give up...be patient.

Take charge of your leadership story—and write a new chapter

There are moments in just about every leadership journey when the path forward suddenly feels unclear. Struck by uncertainty and a lack of confidence, your sense of self—and your clarity of purpose—is out of balance. It’s as if you have ceased to be the hero in your own story. At times of periods of disruption and transition like these, you need a rewrite.

Join host Howie Outerbridge as he does a deep dive with Rick and Christine to find out more about why they wrote the book, and what they learned about leadership, and themselves, during the process.

So...you've always wanted to quit your day job and buy a vineyard? 

In this episode, Julie Powell talks about her journey, and shares reflections from what she has learned over the last 5 years running Alderlea Vineyard.

Alderlea Vineyards is one of Vancouver Island’s oldest and most respected vineyards, nestled in the Cowichan Valley, near Duncan on Vancouver Island. The estate-grown grapes produce a mix of dry white wines including Bacchus, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc. Red wines comprise Pinot Noir, Clarinet made from old vine Marechal Foch, Merlot, and a Cabernet Foch blend known as Matrix.

The character and style of Alderlea wines are a product of the geographic location, grape varietal characteristics, and winemaking techniques employed. Alderlea whites are made in stainless steel tanks using extended lees contact, resulting in wines that are dry, crisp, clean, and aromatic. The reds are barrel-aged, fruit-forward, balanced, and bold. All Alderlea wines pair exceptionally well with food, particularly our local west coast cuisine.

Award-winning Alderlea wines are available at our Wine Shop and at the following locations: Restaurants and Liquor Stores.
